College football odds, picks and prediction for Notre Dame Fighting Irish vs Duke Blue Devils. Week 5 betting free pick and game analysis.
Notre Dame could have used a bye or a cupcake opponent after a loss to Ohio State, but instead they'll face a ranked Duke team on the road. That could have head coach Marcus Freeman going back to his roots, as our college football betting picks explain.The Notre Dame Fighting Irish may feel like this Saturday is March 18.
More precisely, he will want to shorten the game, and shortening this game will play to the two best units on the field, the two defenses. The Irish first quarter last week against Ohio State took 29 real-time minutes. The first half took an hour and 16 minutes. Blink and it could be halftime this Saturday night.
And Leonard may be hesitant early. Well, Leonard and Duke head coach Mike Elko. While they upset Clemson to open the season, there were few expectations afoot at that point. The Blue Devils were 12-point underdogs. As soon as that Labor Day game was competitive, Duke had exceeded preseason expectations.
Things may get chaotic late. The game is too big not to. The quarterbacks are too good not to eventually make plays. But early? With Notre Dame effectively hungover? Expect little in the first half, only to create drama in the second half.
